Li Guangyu and Cao Weiqing were enjoying themselves at Bentley Island and waiting for the birth of their daughter-in-law Zhang Xuemei.
On the morning of June 12, the lobby on the first floor of Wheelock Tower in Hong Kong welcomed a guest, but it was Jack Ma, a big figure in the mainland Internet industry.
Faced with JD's aggressive momentum, for the sake of AL's future, he decided to come to Xiangjiang, hoping to find a way out for his group.
At the service desk on the first floor, Jack Ma said to his staff: "Hello, I am Jack Ma, Chairman of AL Group. I would like to pay a visit to Li Sheng and please report to the superiors."
As employees of the Lee Consortium, especially those who are in charge of the front desk of the headquarters building, these staff are still very concerned about the affairs of the consortium, and AL's listed value on the Hong Kong Exchange during this period is not very good, and has been falling for many days in a row. , the relevant news has already spread throughout Hong Kong.
Although these employees are very dissatisfied with AL and Jack Ma, their quality is still very high, and their faces do not show their inner emotions at all.
A staff member responded very politely: "Hello, do you have an appointment in advance?"
Ma Yun couldn't contact Li Guangyu at all. Whenever he called, Li Guangyu's assistant Gan Qin answered the phone and told him that Li Guangyu was not in Xiangjiang.
He felt that it was unlikely that Li Guangyu would not be away from Xiangjiang for a long time. After all, the Li Group was so large that Li Guangyu had to handle many matters. He probably just didn't want to see him this time.
For the future of the company, he bravely came to Xiangjiang, hoping that Li Guangyu could meet him and have some communication with Li Guangyu to resolve the crisis.
Ma Yun responded: "I did not make an appointment. Please report it to the superior."
The staff member who just asked took out a form and a signature pen and said to him: "Mr. Ma, please fill in the information. If Li Sheng has time, the assistant office will call you."
At this moment, Ma Yun was filled with anger and dissatisfaction. He was now the president of a group with a market value of tens of billions of dollars. Unexpectedly, he came in person to visit Li Guangyu, but he was no different from a passerby.
The front desk staff is business-minded. It would be strange if he could see Li Guangyu. Even if this information reaches the assistant's office quickly, I'm afraid it will be delayed indefinitely.
However, no matter how dissatisfied he was, for the sake of the development of the company, Ma Yun still filled in the information honestly and said to the staff: "I also hope that you can send the information to the assistant office as soon as possible. I also communicate with Li Sheng on particularly urgent matters. "
"Please rest assured, Mr. Ma, I will immediately enter the information about your visit into the computer, and the person in charge of the assistant office will check it."
Ma Yun did not leave immediately. He hoped that Li Guangyu would take time to meet with him because he saw that he came here to pay a visit in person.
In the Assistant Office, although Gan Qin is still the current Assistant Office Director, as Li Guangyu begins to hand over power to Li Songtao, she is also in a semi-retired state, and the deputy director He Jiahui is responsible for basic affairs.
He Jiahui is He Hao's daughter. She is 25 years old this year. Her current position is also a key part of her training.
Moreover, her taking up this position also prevented Liu Xiaohui from overthinking. After all, Li Songtao's grandma and He Jiahui's grandfather were biological siblings. In the 21st century, it is generally unlikely that there will be a close relative marriage.
Of course, this is temporary. After Gan Qin retires, Liu Xiaohui will be almost trained below. Liu Xiaohui will then take up the position of Assistant Office Director to avoid some disharmonious situations in the future.
While He Jiahui was busy in the office, there was a sudden knock on the door.
"Please come in."
An office employee walked in and said to her: "Ms. He, news just came from the front desk on the first floor of the building. Mr. Jack Ma, Chairman of AL, is here and hopes to meet Li Sheng."
He Jiahui said: "I understand, you go and do your work first."
After the employee left, He Jiahui looked at the time. It was still early in the Bentley Island Territory at this time, and she gave up the idea of contacting Li Guangyu.
He left the office directly and headed towards Li Songtao's office.
After listening to He Jiahui's report, Li Songtao said: "Ask the office staff to contact Jack Ma and inform him that my father is not in Xiangjiang. As for the specific location, it is inconvenient to disclose it due to security issues."
…
Ma Yun was sitting in the guest area of the lobby on the first floor waiting for news. As his cell phone rang, Ma Yun immediately took out his cell phone. He hoped that he could hear the news that Li Guangyu was willing to meet him.
The call was indeed from the assistant office staff, but the news that came made him very disappointed.
Li Guangyu was not in Xiangjiang, which made Ma Yun feel that it was just an excuse for not wanting to see him.
In his opinion, the Li Group is planning to completely suppress AL this time and does not want to give AL too many ways to survive, otherwise Li Guangyu would not avoid him.
At this time, Ma Yun realized that he was not that great in AL, and he had no capital to be arrogant.
AL is now suffering from internal and external troubles. He knows that if this predicament cannot be resolved as soon as possible, not only the external market will be robbed, but its internal senior management will also become disloyal.
Some senior executives are likely to choose to leave, especially Cai Congxin, who is one of the biggest contributors to AL's development. Once he chooses to leave, AL's current precarious situation will be worsened.
Unable to see Li Guangyu, Ma Yun had no choice but to retreat. He came to the front desk again. This time he asked to see Wang Qian, the head of the Internet industry of the Li Group, whose external identity is the chairman and president of the board of directors of Tianshui Technology Company.
This is a company that specializes in developing and servicing enterprise management software, mainly business intelligence, customer relationship management, enterprise information management, enterprise performance management, etc.
The feedback was very quick this time, and Wang Qian did not avoid Ma Yun.
In the reception area of Wang Qian's office, Wang Qian said to Ma Yun who was sitting there: "Mr. Ma, do you have any reason for coming here to visit me?"
Faced with Wang Qian’s knowing questions, Ma Yun said: "Mr. Wang, Tianyu Investment Company, Xiangjiang Bank, Hsinchu Bank, etc. are all shareholders of our AL. The better AL develops, the more profits you will make. What happened this time Some of the things that have happened have made us operators very chilling. Not only did you shareholders not favor AL, but you became accomplices in suppressing AL."
Wang Qian responded in surprise: "Mr. Ma, I don't know if you have any misunderstanding. You should know that regarding some investments in the mainland, we never interfere with the management of the company by the founders of any company. For example, your AL, company decision-making The power is in your hands, we are only responsible for paying dividends."
Jack Ma was looking for the wrong person. Wang Qian was very dissatisfied with Lebao, Fetion, Qiandu, etc. for withdrawing from the mainland market two years ago. This time AL actually ignored the interests of shareholders and used company resources to build ZFB that has nothing to do with AL shareholders. This is absolutely This is something Wang Qian cannot tolerate.
And as the person in charge of the Internet industry of the Li Group, Wang Qian also wants to scare the monkeys this time and let those Internet companies know that even if Fetion, Lebao, etc. have withdrawn from the mainland Internet market, the Li Group can still influence their markets.
It is impossible for monkeys to dominate the mountains without tigers. Those who dare to harm the interests of the Li Group will inevitably pay a heavy price. AL is not an irreplaceable company.
